GO BLAZERS!!​

 

[Nikolokolus]

Whoa boy.

 

[THE HCP]

Wall isn't starting? I guess that's smart to ease him back in.

 

[BBert]

Washington Generals are coming to town! Woo-hoo!

 

[BoBoBREWSKI]

 

[THE HCP]

Stotts also said #Blazers Meyers Leonard (right ankle) would "probably" play vs. Wizards. The rookie center has not played since Dec. 29.

That's really good news. We need help for our bigs.

 

[HomerLovesKoolAid]

Looking forward to seeing if Meyers Leonard has learned anything through observation.

 

[KingSpeed]

We definitely lose this one. Wizards are playing well. We're not.

 

[BBert]

Can't make the blazers game but I'm at the coliseum at the winter hawks game with my girls. Man what a dump. The sun is blazing into my eyes through the windows bouncing off the plexiglass and I can't see a thing lol.

 

[dirtclod]

KingSpeed; Whatchu takin about Willis?

 

[BlazerBeav]

This will not be a sellout for anyone wondering. Half full with 4 minutes till starting lineups.

 

[julius]

Hm, Portland down early. color me surprised.

 

[RoyToy]

Why is Hickson coming out when Aldridge is guarding Nene and Nene is 5-5?

You have to be fair about it, Stotts.

 

[Darkwebs]

And our D is invisible, another surprise.

 

[RoyToy]

I think it's stupid for Aldridge to say the team needs a big man to protect the basket, rebound, etc.

Aldridge, you're damn near 7ft with long arms. Why don't you do it?

 

[BlazerBeav]

Wow, didn't think our defense could get worse. I was horribly wrong.

 

[KingSpeed]

I think it's stupid for Aldridge to say the team needs a big man to protect the basket, rebound, etc.

Aldridge, you're damn near 7ft with long arms. Why don't you do it?

Link? What did Aldridge say and when?

 

[RoyToy]

Hickson goes out and the defense is the same.

That's an unfair substitution by Stotts. Making Hickson the scapegoat was dumb.

 

[RoyToy]

Link? What did Aldridge say and when?

He's said it in interviews and such

 

[RoyToy]

Nene is torching Aldridge right now

But it's Hickson's fault

 

[KingSpeed]

Not a lot of people in the game thread tonight.

 

[BlazerBeav]

Hey Batum, martell Webster is a one trick pony. Don't give him space. I'd have thought you knew that.

 

[Fez Hammersticks]

Aldridge is playing at half speed.

 

[magnifier661]

Nice rebound claver

 

[magnifier661]

Babbitt is arguably the worst defender on our team. He just doesn't see the floor well. Always a couple steps and moves from coming to help.

 

[EGame]

We need a legit defensive minded center or we will get torched for years to come.

 

[magnifier661]

We need a legit defensive minded center or we will get torched for years to come.

We should have drafted one. I hear Oden will be the top pick. You think we may get lucky and get the number one pick?

 

[BlazerBeav]

Lillard let Wall blow right by him to end the quarter. He has got to at least provide token resistance.

 

[illmatic99]

I like Claver. He looks like he understands what's going on.
